The hotel is 3 * with a big minus. The rooms are not comfortable, the shower smells of dampness. The room is dark, because the room overlooks the courtyard. No free internet. There is Internet, but it costs 10 euros per day and catches only in the reception area. Every hour you need to approach the staff and ask for a new password.

The hotel has a convenient location. The funicular to Taormina is 3 minutes on foot along a road without sidewalks. But the drivers drive carefully, they don’t offend tourists. A round-trip ticket is 3.5 euros. ) It didn’t really bother us. We went to the free beach, it’s further away. It is uncomfortable to walk on the stones, but it is predictable.

The water was very warm and clean. Biting red jellyfish came once, we didn’t swim that day, we managed the hotel pool.
Rooms... This is a separate song. The balcony in the standard was 20 cm, our eyes rested on the rock. They wanted to change, but there were no others available (or they said that they weren’t). And then it became lazy. So they lived. Basically normal. doors and handles... Safe in the room, own air conditioning, bath, bidet . . The food was half board. ) Fruits were also skillfully disguised in the cart of a toy donkey, they noticed only in the last days)) Dinners are so-so, pasta is not tasty, fish every other time, meat was not taken. Linen was changed often. Bottle of mineral water 4 euros, cappuccino 3

I stayed at this hotel in August 2009. The opinions of Russian tourists vacationing at the same time with us in this hotel were divided. Some didn't like EVERYTHING. On the contrary, we LOVE EVERYTHING. And there is an explanation for this. If you go to 4 *, take a Superior room with a sea view. We had a huge balcony of 50 square meters with a gorgeous 240 degree sea view.

The room is brand new and recently refurbished. Yes, a little cramped, but this is not an apartment in which you live permanently.
Those who did not like lived in standard rooms, and indeed the hotel has unrenovated rooms.
Breakfast at the hotel as elsewhere in 4 * in Italy. Close to the beach. We went to Mazaro beach and Isola Bella beach. Funicular 3 min walk.
In general, I liked everything.

The hotel is so-so for a 4-ku, well, it doesn’t pull. The hall is good, even the antiques are worth it, but the rooms are shit. On the site and in the wonderful travel agency "Neva" they show good beautiful and large rooms and declare them as a standard; in fact, these are pictures of a suite of which there are only 4 pieces in the hotel and, of course, tour operators are not sold! FOOD - to say that feeding is shit - not to say anything, you just need to feel it, but you won’t be able to feel it either.

FOOD - to say that feeding is shit - not to say anything, you just need to feel it, but you won’t be able to feel it either. portions are meager. And don't skip dinner. By the way, if you don’t immediately make friends with the waiters, then they will serve you in the very last turn, even if you come in the forefront, they simply ignore you!

The hotel is not bad, except for the disgusting feeding and, to put it mildly, unobtrusive staff. The hotel rooms are quite simple for a 4 *, although we were fine with it. It took a long time to choose between this hotel and the neighboring Villa Bianca, there were almost no reviews on the Internet, and travel agencies also could not really say anything.

It took a long time to choose between this hotel and the neighboring Villa Bianca, there were almost no reviews on the Internet, and travel agencies also could not really say anything. I liked their location, because they are located next to the funicular that rises to the coastal town of Taormina and its proximity to the beach (the hotel does not have its own). I must say the beaches there are mostly with stones, and the entrance to the water is difficult, especially for small children, but we found a small piece of sand where we could sunbathe. From the entertainment in the hotel there is almost nothing, sometimes only live music in the bar. Saved only by funicular trips to Taormina and gatherings in its many bars and cafes. We liked one place so much that we went there every day for lunch, we just sat down in this kitchen, probably because we ate all sorts of nasty things in the hotel, it seems to be called "At Nino's" next to the funicular station. They also entertained themselves with excursions to Palermo, Catania, Etna, and Messina. Taormina has an ancient amphitheater with beautiful views of the coast, where concerts still take place, and a small picturesque park. In general, the town is very pleasing to the eye, the Sicilians themselves are proud of it. From Taormina it was possible to climb to the town of Castelmolo, it rises above Taormina, that is, on the very top of the mountain, an amazing sight! In general, I liked everything, but we definitely advise you to travel more (although local buses are a separate story), even in any small town there is something to see and where to gain impressions, and be sure to take Italian with you. Phrasebook, Sicilians don't speak English at all. !
